The Daily Telegraph can also reveal that the Sea Eagles have narrowly missed signing ex-NSW halfback Brett Finch.
The Daily Telegraph has been told that Finch was on the verge of becoming a Sea Eagle next season on a second-tier contract.
Finch was ready to accept a full-time role on Channel 7's The Matty Johns Show and play with Manly on a deal worth about $50,000.
He was a regular guest on the show over the back end of last season.
But the former Storm five-eighth had agreed to play with Wigan, although he had not officially signed a contract.
While tempted to remain in the NRL and live on Sydney's Northern Beaches, Finch felt he could not renege on his agreement and accepted the Wigan deal.
The 28-year-old will play for Wigan next year and in 2012. He had also been chased by Super League club Hull Kingston Rovers.
Wigan, the reigning Super League champions, have also signed Melbourne forwards Ryan Hoffman and Jeff Lima.
What. The. ****?
Even at minimum wage, that would have been ridiculous.
